[Swift-user] Adding :bigmem to node count

[Justin M Wozniak]

Hello
 	Ok, I do not think that the queue is actually there (I found that 
in an old web page.)  There is a new feature in trunk to support this.  I 
tested the sites.xml file pasted below and it did give me a fat node on 
Fusion (as reported by /usr/bin/free).

<config>
<pool handle="local-pbs">
   <execution provider="pbs" url="none" />
   <filesystem provider="local" url="none" />
   <profile namespace="globus"  key="maxwalltime">5</profile>
   <profile namespace="globus"  key="pbs.properties">bigmem</profile>
   <workdirectory>/home/wozniak/work</workdirectory>
</pool>
</config>
